An Rugu: [It’s not that I don’t want to sign, it’s that it’s not good for you if I sign this contract.]

Manager Liu: “???”

He blinked his eyes, thinking that he must have read wrong, otherwise how could he see the other party say such strange things?

There were countless streamers under the Shark platform—those with contracts and those without. The platform staff could not possibly manage streamers numbering in the tens of thousands, so the platform adopted a guild system, like other livestream platforms did.

The HK guild behind Manager Liu was the leading guild on the platform. As long as a streamer signs a contract with them, the guild will give the other party a lot of traffic, and the guild will also take a lot of money. It was obviously a win-win thing, how did it become something not good?

Manager Liu thought for a moment and replied with some concern: [Is someone from another guild negotiating with you? Don’t rush to sign with others, I can assure you that the treatment those guilds can give you is definitely not as good as ours.]

An Rugu: [It is true that other guilds have approached me, but I haven’t agreed to anyone yet. In truth, the main reason is that when I reveal Fate’s mysteries, there will inevitably be a backlash. Divination fee is inherently full of karma. I can resolve it for myself, but you can’t.]

Manager Liu: “…”

Manager Liu: [Are you trying to fool me? Is there really such a mystical consequence? How come I have never heard of such things from other metaphysics streamers?]

Manager Liu didn’t know much about the details of metaphysics.

Metaphysics livestream channels only began showing up on the platform when the country loosened its control over the topic in recent years. So far, reception from the viewers has been tepid, and the popularity of the livestream channels was particularly low. It wasn’t until An Rugu’s unprecedented popularity that Manager Liu and the others cautiously set their sights on the Metaphysics livestream channels.

Manager Liu opened a folder that contained streaming stats and data. He found information about metaphysics streamers towards the bottom of the page, and sent it to An Rugu: [Look, these metaphysics streamers have signed contracts with us, and they are still signed with us today. They were all C-level contracts, why did no backlash happen?]

The IDs of these metaphysics streamers: [Clear Mind Daoist Jiang], [Know Life in Jianghu with Bai], [Divine Element Reckoner]¹

Manager Liu deliberately revealed that these metaphysics streamers were getting treatment that was not as good as that offered to An Rugu, implying that An Rugu should stop making excuses. If you insist on making an excuse, at least think of something believable!

An Rugu clicked on their profile pictures, took a look at their faces, and replied indifferently: [These people can’t even see Fate’s secrets, so how can they talk about leaking the secrets and causing backlash?]

Manager Liu was very surprised: [You mean…they are all scammers?]

An Ruyu: [They haven’t even entered the door—at best they are just metaphysics enthusiasts.]²

Manager Liu turned pale with shock, and with the idea of ​​finding out more, he directly opened the channel of [Divine Element Reckoner], which was currently doing a livestream.

The [Divine Element Reckoner] looked to be in his forties, with a kind face. He had a beard, wore a Taoist robe, and looked a bit immortal-like.

A lady was talking on video call, crying: “Master, my husband cheated on me, and he secretly brought his mistress to my house to meet my in-laws. It’s disgusting! Help me figure out when they will die?”

The [Divine Element Reckoner] paused and quickly comforted her: “Oh, miss, please be calm yourself. Don’t be angry. Anger hurts the body—won’t this only make the enemy happy?”

After the lady’s mood was calmed down, the [Divine Element Reckoner] said again: “You don’t need to curse others. They will already not have a better life. Believe me, your husband and that mistress will never last long.”

“But in the meantime, don’t stand still: protect your interests. First, get evidence of their infidelity, then try your best to get the most property. Things are bound to get better later, alright?”

Afterwards, the [Divine Element Reckoner] used his kind tone and good words to coax the woman to smile, pay the divination fee as a satisfied customer, and finally hang up the phone. Probably she was now preparing to collect evidence of infidelity and looking forward to the scene where the relationship between husband and mistress breaks down.

Manager Liu, who was a generally upright human being, gradually figured out why the cheating man wouldn’t have a long relationship with his mistress. After thinking about it, he knew the reason: cheating was never only done once and but would be done countless times. As long as there was a first time, it would be difficult to stay in line afterwards.

This [Divine Element Reckoner] was not so much engaged in metaphysics—it was better to say that he was engaged in psychotherapy.

… …

Manager Liu believed eighty percent of what An Rugu said and quickly typed on the keyboard to ask An Rugu: [They don’t really know how to divine fate’s secrets and still claim to tell people fortunes; isn’t this just fooling people? Nothing untoward will happen, right?]

He was a little worried that something would go wrong and it would affect the image of the guild.

An Rugu replied: [I saw their faces: they know how to behave, and they have not harmed anyone.]

If the other party could be enlightened, then they would accept the job and give them a spiritual spa. If it was beyond their ability, they would use the excuse of postponing today’s business or say that the other party was not a predestined person.

In fact, some people only need a little positive psychological suggestion to live a good life, so these streamers even gain a little merit.

Manager Liu was amazed. After a long time, he slapped his forehead and remembered that he was here to win over An Rugu. How could he be led to watch other streamers instead?

Manager Liu quickly regained his senses. Thinking of the backlash An Rugu mentioned earlier, compared to his mindset before, he now felt a little scared. He had done a little background research before he came to convince the other party to join their guild. An Rugu’s livestream was very different from the other metaphysics livestreams. 

If there was really a secret fate in this world, her livestream would definitely leak it.

Then there would really be a backlash!
